Okay, a few questions here:
1. Of the units from each House, which is the best to prepare to become a Dancer? I've heard a lot of praise for one Black Eagles option, but since that's not my House and I have a few other recruitment priorities I doubt I'll get her and get her trained in time.
1a. As a follow-up, what neutral units make a good Dancer? What about Byleth, would she be a good pick for the class once her Faith talent unlocks?
2. How exactly do the stars on Budding Talents work? Does the student have to increase their rank in the talent through tutoring, or do you have to get a Perfect tutor result, or do they both work, or is it something else entirely?
3. How important is it (on Normal) that I have a specific plan for each unit planned out from the very beginning? That is, does the game give me time to experiment with my units and change my mind if something isn't working, or will two or three careless lesson plans ruin a given unit entirely?
4. I'm on Blue Lions but plan to recruit Lysithea, Bernadetta, Marienne, and Dorothea (in descending order of emotional priority), with Leonie a possible fifth if I can manage it without too much trouble. Am I going for too many recruitments to safely juggle? Am I going for bad recruitments, or missing out on some particularly incredible recruits for this route?
